Can my Wide, Bulbous Nose Be Reduced in Size?

August 16, 2011
Asked By:OCTUBER in New York, NY

I have a wide, bulbous nose and I was wondering if with Rhinoplasty I can reduce my nose to something like the picture below. I want my results to look natural. I am not aiming to narrow down my nose and making it thin, I have no problem with a small round nose. I just want a nose that will go with my features and facial structure. I would appreciate constructive criticism and what you think should be done to achieve the look I want. I also want to know if the results I want are possible.
